Absolutely. People say you need millions to defend your patent or it's worthless. Not so. If your patent is good, then there is a commercial market for it. Maybe you won't be able to afford to defend it, but if say Boeing and Airbus both want it, they would pay good money to keep the other one from getting it.
after figuring out her real name. I sometimes get friend suggestions from people where I suspect that the connection is that they looked at my profile.
The reason why chips are so cheap despite the large number of components on them is that all the components are produced at the same time. It's a complicated process with many steps using ludicrously expensive equipment for sure, but it's a single iteration through the production process. If you want to scale vertically, you have to increase the number of iterations. The production costs will asymptotically approach proportionality with the number of components on the chip.
This keeps getting repeated whenever the topic is the comparatively poor price/performance ratio of American ISPs. Sure, the average EU population density is higher than that of the USA, but if that was enough to explain the difference, you would expect European prices to vary by population density, since European ISP markets are national. There are several EU countries with lower population densities than the USA. Sweden has a 40% lower population density than the USA and usually scores near the top on rankings of ISP price/performance.
Literally. That's what the article says if you click through the summary and rewrite to actually read it. To quote: "What the Google founders recognized about search on the Web was that information about LINKS could be added to the algorithms." Which isn't wrong, of course, but if you call yourself a nerd you already know a hell of a lot more about the page ranking algorithm than this already.
Maybe I misunderstood your comment, or maybe this is a common misconception. You always hear that the US is the world's largest economy. Last time I checked, the EU had a larger GDP than the US.
In the parliamentary elections of September 2013, more than 250 000 Norwegians in selected municipalities were able to vote from home. They were taking part in a national trial of Internet voting, building on an advanced cryptographic protocol.

The age of the square, visible pixel was actually a pretty short period between blurry CRTs and retina LCDs. Pixel art was originally created for CRT, which blurs the pixels. Artists developed techniques to take advantage of this.
That would be the reason for the spinning platform at the bottom of the silo;-). But maybe it's better to spin down the rocket as it descends so that it stops just as it lands.
The spinning would have to be slow enough that you could either gimbal the nozzle or modulate the thrust at the same frequency as the spinning. I don't know which of the two controls is faster.
I don't know about the economics of this. It's probably not economical.
A bit of rotation should help to keep the thing upright. The gases being pushed into the silo will be forced towards the walls on their way back out and help center the rocket as it enters the silo. A funnel-shaped silo is easy to hit and provides a soft cushion as the pressure of the backscattered gas increases as the rocket descends into it. Finally, a rotating platform at the bottom needs to be synchronized to the rocket's own rotation. Good Thing I don't have the billions it would take to see my brilliant ideas crash and burn.
I have no such illusions. But I would expect open source tools to at least function equally across FPGA brands, at least to the extent that people are able to reverse engineer the bitstream formats of the various architectures.
The quality of software in general correlates strongly with the amount of manpower that is put into it, which again correlates strongly with funding. On that note, I think the case could be made that some FPGA producers would benefit from an open source and cross-platform toolstack, particularly those that are not currently market leaders.
There are several open source vhdl / verilog projects, including tools for simulation and synthesis, mapping, placing and routing. Examples: HANA, yosys, Icarus. But I guess you usually get better results with the free-as-in-beer tools from the fpga manufacturers. Which is a shame, since it would be nice to have some open source tools. Although everyone use the same hardware definition languages, it is a pain in the neck to switch between FPGA brands, mostly because the build tools are different and all pretty quirky.
Can you download their schematics and PCB layouts? Not that it would be terribly useful, but it would bring the use of the term "open source hardware" in line with how others use it.
Planting trees is fine, but hardly the best use of your time since trees tend to pop up on their own just fine. If you want to sequester carbon, your time is probably better spent preventing the carbon which has already been bound in existing trees from being released into the atmosphere. For instance by burying a tree in an anaerobic swamp. Less romantic, more effective.

Instead of peer review, a measure of value of a publication could be as simple as counting how many times a publication is referenced.
Referenced by whom? Other papers that have been published the same way? I'm pretty sure there's a loophole somewhere in that scheme.

Granted the US is the biggest economy

Even if that might have been energetically possible, the molecules probably lack the activation energy that is required to perform the phase change.

Going by your UID, I'm guessing you were too young to have been there.
You'd have to guess again.

In case you need to convey which one of the large updates you downloaded last, you can simply say when you downloaded it. I like it!

If you offset the fuel pickup from the center, the spinning might possibly increase fuel pressure.
You could have a silo in the ocean too. A heavy one made out of concrete would stay mostly submerged.

Open standards then, not open source.
